I am no fool. I am not saying it is the fastest thing in world,only that it is the quickest stock sport quad i've seen. The numbers don't lie and neither will I.

 

Twink, I think youve been huffing gas or something, Preds are good bikes for young fellas such as your self but when the hair pops out you need a little more power. Plus if your running your quad on a 1/8 mile dragstrip your one of those douchbags that we have to sit and wait for as you run your pathetic times. Dragstrips are for cars and street bikes not basically stock quads. I wouldnt run my 700 on a dragstrip and cause people like me with legitamate drag cars to have to wait around and watch some hillbilly run a quad.

 

If ignorance is bliss raptor 13 must be the happiest person alive. Iam 40years old and been racing cars,trucks,lawnmowers,bicycles,skateboards,boats, waverunners,quads ( because of my competative nature I guess)and whatever else I feel like. I presently have 4 quad and a 66 conv. corvette among other things. I race my Pred in the 1/8th asphalt and the 300 sand/dirt because it handles the abuse and is cheeper to run. (Sure don't care to tear up the Vette weekly) Don't assume I am some hillbilly that only has 1 quad to race because like maqny on here I have spent over 20 grand on them but with a family I would rather have it in 4 quads we can all ride anytime than 1 only I can ride sometimes.

 

Also raptor 13 my Pred is quicker in the than most performance cars and some of the banshee (that run 1/8th asphalt are quicker than most 10 sec drag cars.

 

Raptor13, predators run pretty close in a drag with your 700, although I will admit a 700 raptor would probably win, that isn't even impressive because its way bigger. So if a pred is only good for young fellas, the same goes for your raptor, since a raptor hardly has any more power anyways.

 

Twink, my mistake, I thought you were a pimpled up teen hormoned to the max. Now I know youre just a delusional old man, well not that old but definately the prior. Look, if you think the pred is faster than the 700 thats your opinion. We all have one. But opinion and fact are not the same. For instance FACT 700r makes more torque and hp than the pred up to 5900 rpm. After that its close but its too late. Fact the pred weighs more. Fact the preds gearing is lower than the raptor, if the same the raptor stock would be harder to ride. Fact the pred is an overachiever but not in the same class as the raptor=put in equal com ratio piston in the raptor and its massively stronger than the pred, Fact the pred uses a fugi engine not ktm as some have stated. Fact the preds track record of dependability is not as good as the 660r raptor. Now, opinion or not if you have a friend in or around NC Ill take you up on your race and will bet quad for quad if you like. My brother needs another beater to abuse and leave in the woods, I think a pred would do nicely.

Reminder- I have clearly stated that I think the predator is a decent quad, I even like parts about it. But its more suited against the z400, 450r, etc. Which given a choice and yamaha wasnt an option I may have to go with the pred. Definatly over suzuki junk. I know this will start a whole new arena for a **** storm but what else do we have to argue about.

 

Raptor 13 why don't you just go to the nearest drag strip and run a 8.8 1/8th. What Iam saying is fact and not opinion with the theory proven every time I run a 700r at State capitol raceway on Fridays. If you can check out their website and go under results you will get to see my time ran. As for being delousional you should look in the mirror. This thread is pure entertainment because watching you and kfx get your panties in a bunch (because a 500 Polaris that is cheaper will smoke a 700r that is over-rated) is hilarious.

 

Maybe the raptor you race all the time has a bad rider... racing is 10% bike and 90% [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Oh and dont call me out saying Ive got my panites in a bunch. If you think your so fast, bring it to KOD in Colorado this year. I know its a long drive, but shut up or show up. Ill be there with my slow quad (raptor) and my shee. Look me up if you got anything dangling.

 

It is more than 1 700r I often spank with guys i've been racing against for years. You're correct about the rider being a big part of racing, with that said if you weigh more than 200 lbs I will race any stock 700r for any amount or compesation.
